Will man ever learn from history? |
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.” - Aldous Huxley Cut them down for they are free as the good Lord said they should be. And they won't hang by their throats for being their colour or seeking a free life. The flag of liberty is said to fly but why did it take so long to see? Man is barbaric. And we can't just blame our ancestors because we have the same blood, the same heart, the same name. For the blood that has spilled was watched through their eyes and now they prophesize, that the day will come of the end. All I can say is man is to blame. History is to be learned from, not repeated, and I don't mean to start an argument that's heated... But how many have to die? How many have to bleed then left to hang and dry for the vultures of man to digest? How can we gallop around and say we are the best... when we failed the largest test? The test of time and opening our eyes to the gruesome past of our ancestors lives? And now we say we're all free but I see no liberty in this cruel and vile world we have to call Earth. And if you ignore the history of the many who died then when will you ever see? That until man learns from history we will never be free from the violence, injustice and the chains of ignorance. |
